United's £89million record signing put himself on a collision course with the club and their supporters when he admitted earlier this summer that he wanted to leave.

Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane is desperate to take his fellow Frenchman to the Bernabau – and the Spanish giants are expected to test United's resolve with a bid if they can find a buyer for Gareth Bale.

United fans have reacted badly in the past when players have failed to commit themselves fully to the club.

And club skipper Ashley Young was inexplicably jeered when United beat Inter Milan in Singapore in the third game of their pre-season tour of Australia and the Far East on Saturday.

But Solskjaer said: “I think our fans know what Paul has given the club and what he can give us.

“Of course, there are some loud fans – but it is a small minority.

“And Paul has been an absolutely top individual – and me and the players would testify to that.

“He has never been a problem for even a second here and we're just grateful he performs as well as he does.”
